A funeral open to the public will be held to honour slain police officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane in early July, Montreal police confirmed on Thursday.
Benredouane was one of three people who died in a shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood Monday. He died alongside civilian Michel Mizrahi and the suspected shooter, Seth Scott Hatfield from Alberta. Another officer was seriously injured.
The SPVM said the funeral will not take place before the week of July 6. Additional details are to be released at a later date.
“During this time of mourning, we have been deeply touched by the many expressions of compassion and support shown to the family of Officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, our injured officer and our entire policing community,” the force said in its statement.
They said the messages have brought comfort during a period of mourning.
